A sociology class in Wheeler Hall on the UC Berkeley campus reviews texts without the help of electric lighting  

Thursday. The California Public Interest Research Group launched an initiative on campus to encourage students and instructors to minimize electricity use. Lights blazed brightly in the four other classrooms along the second-story  

hall way, but CALPIRG organizers said they’ve just begun their campaign. “The UC’s use a lot of energy and the students should be a major part of the solution to the energy crisis,” said CALPIRG Energy Coordinator Melanie Lane.
